chipguy your data proves my point. example: "Semico Research Corporation reported that Intel sales of 64bit MPUs in 2003 was $100m." Now last I checked Itanium was going for well over $1,000. To sell 100,000 @ $1,000 would equal $100,000,000. But since Itanium goes for significantly more than that, it means Intel sold far fewer Itaniums than you or Barret claim. That's why he says "shipped". And as far as the $500M in servers total,, everyone knows Intel only gets the money for the CPU so nice try but try again. Next time do the math before you get too cocky. Oh yeah, Intel spent billions they will never recoup on the development of Itanium. And now that Opteron is gaining traction, and Intel is forced to follow on 64 bit, Itanic will either wither and die or be a tiny niche product at best. It's funny watching Intel fail.
